The Black Pearl Dunedin Reviews from The Last Year
Intrusive and noisy environment, not a nice and quiet experience, food is average for that type of restaurant.
We had dinner. The food was above average, but what could be expected. What I have a complaint about is the service and the ambiance in the restaurant. We went there to celebrate a special occasion and be ourselves in what should be a high en private and quiet environment, but that definitely failed. The food was about average of what could be expected in a place like this. The primary complaint is about the intrusive service and the ambiance in the restaurant. The wait staff, is extremely intrusive and annoying. I know they're trying to do their best to cater for our wishes and give us the best service, however it was just way too much with their constant intrusive interruptions and disturbance of our conversation. Even when we were enjoying our entree we couldn't even get 10-15 minutes time for ourselves to enjoy that without being disturbed by a waiter showing the dessert menu - super annoying. On top of all this a loud and obnoxious large group of people came in, a large table in the middle was booked for 12-14 people, even though it says on their website that groups of max 10 people can be accommodated. This happened in the middle of our dinner and totally ruined the quiet ambiance, and since the restaurant is a very small place no-one could hear a word except their loud talk, which left us with a feeling to get out of there as soon as possible. All in all not a very nice and quiet dinner and evening I reached out to the restaurant with this feedback, but they didn't care to come back to me. Just another way of saying they don't care about their quests.
A foodie’s dream
If you are a foodie, you will definitely enjoy this restaurant. It definitely helps to have a pallet for fine food and wine because it is a pricey restaurant.
A Fine Dining Gem in Dunedin
This fine dining restaurant is a gem! From the moment we entered, my wife and I were treated like royalty. The sommelier (Adam) was knowledgeable and informative. Our waiter (Sean) was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. He had an intimate knowledge of the menu and assisted us in making great choices for our meal. The food was excellent! Chef sent out plate after plate of expertly prepared fare, beautifully portioned and composed. We were truly impressed with the entire experience and will be back soon. - Phil and Holly Hess
Fantastic (just watch the sommelier)
Fabulous experience, delicious food and presentation. Neat and elegant yet warm ambiance. Wine options are amazing. My only critique is the push to sell you the wine. The sommelier is quite knowledgeable, which is great, but could be more refined and respectful in offering wine pairings. At times, he would not even ask and place the glass on the table for you, and would serve the wine leaving you a bit uncomfortable to say no. It made it look like he was pushing the sale. That part I didn't enjoy. Otherwise, amazing experience.
Best meal in years!
We had a wonderful meal at the Back Pearl. The filet was perfection! From the up scale ambience to the attentive waitstaff, it was the best meal I've had in years! They even called the following day to make sure everything was satisfactory. Who does that anymore! If you have a special occasion or just want a fantastic meal, I highly recommend to Black Pearl in Dunedin! Try the black pearl ice cream!
Amazing Experience
Go here!! It is a special place. Truly one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed. The simplest explanation is that it is a dining experience. The ambiance, the service and the food were all impeccable. The flavors of the food were absolutely delightful and the sommelier did a great job picking out the perfect wine to complement the meal. Again, go here! What a special place!
Perfect special occasion meal
The Black Pearl delivered a completely delightful meal from beginning to end. The chef did a wonderful job of pacing the meal. The maitre d' - sommelier was knowledgeable and helpful with wine choices. He also had interesting anecdotes about many of the wines. Our waiter also was skillful and helped with menu choices. We started with a couple of glasses of bubbly and split the pork belly appetizer - unbelievably flavorful. The Black Pearl salad was lovely with interesting tastes in every bite. We had the white truffle lobster risotto and duck entrees. Each dish was flavorful, carefully prepared and beautifully presented. Because of our entree choices we decided we wanted a light red to go with the food and the answer from the sommelier was a Barolo. It went perfectly. We closed the meal with the creme Brule and some espresso. It's a lovely, intimate room that I wish were located much, much closer to where we live.
Memorable experience
Fabulous meal from beginning to end. The service is impeccable and you can tell service is at the forefront of their experience expectations. Our server was Dan and he was attentive, knowledgeable about the wine and menu, and explained everything in detail. The sommelier and maitre d’ was also fabulous but unfortunately I do not recall his name. The Black Pearl has a sophisticated menu and an extensive wine list. For an hors d’oeuvre we had the tempura brie, the crusty artisan bread with hibiscus butter, our starter was maple glazed pork belly, and our salad was the black pearl salad … all absolute outstanding in presentation and flavors. Then we enjoyed an entremet of a pineapple cube before delving into our meals. Our entrees were the Maple Leaf Farms duckling and the Hereford filet mignon. Wrapped up with a bow with the highly recommended white chocolate cake and the chefs compliments of a white mini hot chocolate. This is not a normal evening out, this is a dining experience that you will be thrilled you embarked on. We were in town visiting and found this little gem, we are so glad we wrapped up our trip here. It certainly exceeded our expectations!
Highly Recommend
My husband and I dined here for his birthday, and it was absolutely fabulous! The presentation and flavor of the food was superb and the timing between courses was perfect. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, and my husband ordered the Filet - both were excellent. Our server, Dan, was spot on but the whole staff works together to make sure you are taken care of at all times. I would have to agree with other comments I've seen about being "upsold" on wines and champagne. We initially chose a Cabernet Sauvignon that was $16 per glass, but the Sommelier suggested a different wine that "would go much better with our meal" to the tune of $35 per glass. Just know when you go here you will be spending $$$. With that being said, I would still highly recommend this place for a fine dining experience!
Neighborhood Gem
A lovely place to eat. The food presentation is always amazing. I feel I was up-sold on 2 glasses of wine ($43 prior to tax & tip). I had made a wine selection yet server continued to push the other Pinot Noir. In the end, I felt I should have stuck to my original choice but I do blame this on myself, he just made it sound so enticing. The booths are difficult to get in and out of. We sat at a table first time we were there as a couple of two. Last night we were given a booth since we were a table of 4. Booth needs 3" more space on each side, especially when dinner for 2 is $323.17. I learned just today that the server only received a 15% tip of the 20% Service Charge on our bill. We felt we paid a 20% tip. Perhaps we should have asked since it says Service Charge and not Tip.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
